Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical containers and packages that allow a controlled dosage of liquid products, for example in individual drops or in a jet. More particularly, the invention relates to a tamper-proof dosing capillary cap or plug, which does not allow for reuse to be installed in the upper section of a container or package for liquid products. And a container that includes said insert or capillary cap, thus guaranteeing that the user does not fill and reuse said container.
  • a container is tamper-proof, when it makes it possible to easily identify or detect unauthorized access to protected content; in general, this is carried out through seals, marks, breakable rings or other techniques that show previous manipulation.
  • Another need for packages and containers is that they have a design that prevents them from being refilled after their first use or from being reused for another purpose. This mainly in the containers and packages of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
  • patent publication WO2009002717 presents a container with evidence of tampering.
  • This publication does not refer to a dropper, but provides a closure system for a container in which the closure is non-removably attached to the neck of the container.
  • the security system in this container consists of tabs not visible from the outside of the closure, in which a person would have to break those seals internally in order to uncouple the closure, which, in any case, is irreversible.
  • patent publication WO2013139352 presents a container with a dispensing closure.
  • This publication shows that the container of the invention has a system in which, when attempting to release, rotate, or even unhook the dispenser closure of the container, a predetermined rupture link (or even the outer side wall) of the base, breaks at least partially. In other words, the dispenser closure breaks if it is improperly tampered.
  • Publication WO2016198967A1 discloses an improved dispensing system comprising a dosing unit that includes a skirt that has a projection or edge at its lower end and a container that includes a surface located on the inside of the shoulder of the container, where the surface retains the dosing unit through interference with said projection or edge of the dosing unit. Through these characteristics the reuse of the container is prevented.
  • Another object of the invention are containers of liquid products that incorporate the improved capillary insert.
  • Yet another object of the invention is the use of the improved capillary insert in other inserts available in the state of the art.
  • the present invention consists of a capillary insert to administer liquid products, for example in the form of drops or a jet, which is installed in the neck of a reservoir or container for the liquid to be administered.
  • the main characteristic of the capillary insert of the present invention is that it prevents its reuse and at the same time leaves evidence that it has been manipulated, violated, detached or damaged; and therefore, the insert is unusable since it disables the proper dosage of the product.
  • the capillary insert of the present invention prevents its reuse and tampering through one or more break zones located along the insert.
  • the present invention provides an improved capillary insert according to claim 1 that prevents reuse of the container as a dropper or multi-dose dispenser.
  • the invention also relates to liquid product containers according to claim 9 incorporating the improved capillary insert. Additionally, the invention provides the use of breaking zones in the capillary insert according to claim 7.
  • the present invention relates to a capillary insert (100) for administering liquid products, comprising: a cone (110) that extends axially in the opposite direction to form a skirt (120), where the cone (110) has in its part upper a hole (111) for the administration of liquids through an internal channel (112), the cone (110) has a frusto-conical configuration ending in a washer (114) that divides the cone (110) and the skirt (120) , wherein the insert (100) has one or more homogeneous or non-homogeneous breaking zones, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • Said breaking zones when exerting an external force or subjected to an external force, allow the total or partial breaking of the insert, thanks to one or more thin sections of thickness (115) and one or more thick sections of thickness (116), as seen in Figure 4 . Both partial and total breakage make the insert useless and disables the use of the product.
  • the external force applied can be manual, or through tools used by the user.
  • the one or more breaking zones (130) of the capillary insert (100) are located in the cone (110) or in the skirt (120). Examples of these breaking zones (130) are shown in Figures 3 , 5a, 5b and 5c .
  • the one or more thin (115) or thick (116) sections of thickness are visible or not visible.
  • the one or more thick sections of thickness (116) are located on the inner or external part of the breaking zone, as shown in Figure 4 .
  • the invention refers to not being visible to the user as this depends on the insert manufacturing material, the size of the thick sections of thickness and the configuration of the thin (115) or thick (116) sections of thickness around the perimeter of the capillary insert (100).
  • Figure 1 shows the one or more breaking zones in the cone (110) which are located perimeter along the y-axis and/or at any angle between 0 and 360° from the x-axis of the cone (110), at any height of a defined distance h between the top of the cone (110) and the top surface of the washer (114).
  • Figure 1 shows the one or more breaking zones in the skirt (120), which are located perimeter along the y-axis and/or at any angle between 0 and 360° from the x-axis of the skirt (120), at any height of a defined distance h 1 between the lower surface of the washer (114) and the base of the skirt (120).
  • the capillary insert (100) of the invention is made of resins from renewable and non-renewable sources.
  • resins from renewable sources used in the invention are selected from materials from commercially available renewable sources (e.g. ethanol), such as Bio-PE (Bio Polyethylene), Bio-PEAD / Bio-HDPE (High Density Bio Polyethylene), Bio-PEBD / Bio-LDPE (Low Density Bio Polyethylene), Bio-LLDPE (Linear Low Density Bio Polyethylene) and Bio-PP (Bio Polypropylene).
  • commercially available renewable sources e.g. ethanol
  • Bio-PE Bio Polyethylene
  • Bio-PEAD / Bio-HDPE High Density Bio Polyethylene
  • Bio-PEBD / Bio-LDPE Low Density Bio Polyethylene
  • Bio-LLDPE Linear Low Density Bio Polyethylene
  • Bio-PP Bio Polypropylene
  • resins from non-renewable sources used in the invention are selected from polyolefins, including: Low-density polyethylene (PEBD or LDPE); high-density polyethylene (PEAD or HDPE); linear low density polyethylene (PELBD or LLDPE); polypropylene (PP); ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR); poly-alpha-olefin.
  • PEBD or LDPE Low-density polyethylene
  • PEAD or HDPE high-density polyethylene
  • PELBD or LLDPE linear low density polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • EPR ethylene-propylene rubber
  • An embodiment of the invention corresponds to the use of the breaking zones (130) of the capillary insert (100) according to claim 7.
  • FIG. 7 Another embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 7 , corresponds to a liquid product dispensing container (150) comprising a lid (160); a reservoir (170) for liquid product; a capillary insert (100) arranged at the top of the reservoir (170) and under the lid (160); wherein the capillary insert (100) comprises a cone (110) that extends axially in the opposite direction to form a skirt (120), wherein the cone (110) has in its upper part a hole (111) for the administration of liquids through an internal channel (112), the cone (110) has a frusto-conical configuration ending in a washer (114) that divides the cone (110) and the skirt (120), where the insert (100) has one or more homogeneous or non-homogeneous breaking zones, which when exerting an external force or subjected to an external force allow the total or partial breaking of the insert.
  • the capillary insert (100) comprises a cone (110) that extends axially in the opposite direction to form a
  • the present invention has industrial application in the packaging and container industry, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, in that it provides an insert and a container for administration of medications or other liquid products in controlled amounts to a patient, preferably for the administration of drugs.
